Fortnite Chapter 7: Battle Pass and new map guide

Fortnite kicks off Chapter 7 with a completely reworked Battle Pass — more cinematic, more rewarding, and designed to let you progress without overthinking it. If you want to unlock everything quickly and stay ahead of the pack, here’s a full guide explaining how the Pass works and how to grind faster than everyone else.

The Chapter 7 Pass is built on a simple structure: you earn XP, move through tiers, and unlock skins, variants, emotes, loading screens, V-Bucks, and exclusive bonuses tied to the chapter’s movie theme. The big change is smoother progression: every challenge grants more XP than in Chapter 6, and weekly quests have been simplified to avoid frustration from overly precise objectives. In short, you progress by playing, not by forcing specific actions.

To level up fast, XP is everything. You earn XP in any mode, but some are clearly more efficient. In classic Battle Royale, aiming for top 10 every match gives a huge boost, especially if you chain eliminations. Zero Build is still one of the best ways to rack up XP quickly thanks to its faster pace and the higher number of fights you can finish. Don’t skip your daily quests either: they give a massive boost and take under five minutes.

Weekly quests are your real engine for progression. They’re designed to push you into switching up your playstyle: using certain weapons, exploring specific locations, performing targeted actions. They reward a ton of XP and often give you two to three levels at once. The best approach is to knock them out as soon as they drop on Thursdays so you always stay ahead of the rest of the player base.

The Chapter 7 Pass also includes a set of bonus rewards unlocked once you hit level 100. These pages contain the flashiest variants of the main skins and alternative cosmetics for players who want to flex a bit. To unlock these bonus pages, you simply keep earning XP — and progression stays fast if you stick to your daily + weekly routine.
